Posted on 01/24/2014 10:17:03 AM PST by Silentgypsy

Inspired by Buzzfeed’s “22 Chinese Signs That Got Seriously Lost In Translation”, we decided to make our own list of hilarious translation fails in China.

Check these out, so that if you ever do go to China, you wouldn’t be too surprised about fresh crap in fish tanks and wild germs that hate soup. Oh, and never order the greenstuff!

Never!

You know Silentgypsy, years ago military men thought it was funny to teach locals English phrases { and profanity } as a joke.

It looks as if they learned too well....

Yes, when I arrived in Thailand in 1962, the kids had already been taught to say "Yankee go home," while laughing. They thought it was a greeting.

There was a song about that by Rosemary Clooney: “Sailor boys have talked to me in English. Now I know all about the USA. The Presidente is Davy Crockett and everything in Texas is Vermont,” etc., etc.

*czckle* Could you please get them to cook the raw crap. We can skip the totlet—you can contract every disease known to man in those things.
